To be honest this is my only concern with getting it to look good and not messy. As i do like the look of the current system, but i want more power so this is  why ive beem umming and arring

Had a change of plan on the turbo build and just going to get it on the road as is for now and plan to build a 1915 over the winter.
All other plans are to maybe get a hardtop or get a roof trimmed, Seats re trimmed, and sort the back out as I think it looks a little dated and have it so I can store stuff in the back.
I have to keep pushing back getting it on the road as other things keep popping up and costing me my buggy funds >:(

Yeah on facebook Cliff Dowle with a profile pic of me with a orange afro wig :)

Had a peak under the covers, and its not looking too bad really. A bit scruffy in places, (not looking as good as the pics earlier in the thread)  but the plan is to get it out and used first then tackle the stuff I want to change later.
First step is to get the front tyres changed then, give it a service and set the carbs up then get it moted.
Then it needs a good clean
